Tigers can'ttake Rebels lightly
By Doe KaoslerJr.
Mfesouriansportswriter
Generally speaking, all football games can be
placed in two categories.
On one hand are the big games. The kind that
make players' hearts pound in anticipation, fingers
fidget in nervousness and stomachs flutter with the
excitement of playing a tough opponent
Then, there are the easy ones. Players can sit
back somewhat and relax. Loosen up a little in
preparation for the game. Inhale. Take in that air.
Fill those lungs. Then exhale. Ahhhhh. ..
Breathers.
That's what the easy ones often are called, and it's
tempting to call Missouri's 1: 30 p. m. game today
against Mississippi on Faurot Field a breather.
After all, the Rebels follow Notre Dame and
Alabama on Missouri's schedule, and they precede
Oklahoma.
Unlike the Tigers' other September opponents,
they don't rank among the Top 10 teams in the
nation. In fact, they aren't even in the Top 20. In
terms of relativity, Ole Miss has to be considered a
" breather" for M. U.
The only thing is, the Tigers' breather isn't much
of a breather, hi fact, as far as the, players are con-cerned,
it's not a breather at all.
" We can't afford to look at this as an easy game,"
said M. U. tight end Kellen Winslow. " We can't relax
on anybody. No way.
" Mississippi's good," he said. " They beat Notre
Dame last year, and you've got to respect them for
mat. And they're just as good if not better this
year. This isn't just any other game."
Wendell " Sting" Ray, Missouri's aggressive soph-omore
defensive end, is another Tiger who isn't
about to take the Rebels lightly.
" They're good not as good as a Notre Dame or
an Alabama but they're a good team," Ray said.
" They won't be pushovers. We'll have to go out there
and play them. They won't go out there and say

experts say
ByBma Thompson
Missourian staff writer
Two local financial consultants and a
University professor do not see a
Missouri Students Association request
mat the University reinvest its money
as a wise thing to do.
The MSA has been trying since last
March to convince the University
Board of Curators to divest the
University of $ 19.9 million worth of
investments in American firms which
MSA says operate in South Africa and
support that country's apartheid policy.
MSA asked the board Friday to
research alternatives to the current
investment portfolio. The organisation
also presented to the board an alter-native
plan for reinvestment of mat
money in closer- to- hom- e investments,
with an emphasis on bonds and
federally guaranteed loans.

Yarbro quits
cancer board
over feuds
ByBfllWirtfa
Missourian staff writer
The executive director of Missouri
Cancer Programs, Inc. resigned Friday
because of what he called " petty
squabbles" between Columbia's three
cancer institutions.
Dr. John Yarbro has been director of
the organization, which oversees but
-- has no direct control over the three
institutions, since its inception in 1975.
His resignation takes effect Feb. 2,
1979.
Yarbro said in a letter mailed to
MCPI members that he was resigning
because the University Medical Center,
Ellis Fischel State Cancer Hospital and
the Cancer Research Center have not
" developed a sense of community or
common purpose."
Instead, Yarbro said, the three in-stitutions
have formulated " hidden
agendas" that " produce defensive
actions which result in the preservation
of institutional autonomy at any cost,
and preclude the possibility of genuine
cooperation."
Yarbro said the medical center wants
to absorb Ellis Fischel Hospital " on a
department- by- departme- nt basis" to
augment its resources. He said this is
no secret at Ellis Fischel. and that the
staff there is " afraid."
On the other hand, Ellis Fischel
" would like to use University students
and residents to compete with the
University for patients," Yarbro said.
This would allow Ellis Fischel to " enjoy
the benefits of academic titles while
avoiding the responsibility of being
required to meet academic standards."
Ellis FischeFs problems aren't only
with the medical center, Yarbro said.
" The Cancer Research Center seeks to
monopolize this state- support- ed
hospital as its own private resource"
while encouraging public contributions
to the private center.
But, Yarbro said, Ellis Fischel " used
the Cancer Research Center to bypass
state regulations and budgetary
restraints, including salary restriction,
and utilized public contributions to the
Cancer Research Center to conduct
research without benefit of either
scientific peer review or legislative
approval."
To complete the series of disputes,
Yarbro said the Cancer Research
Center and the medical center have had
problems.
The Cancer Research Center " wishes
to coopt cancer research funds and
resources in mid- Misso- uri to the ex-clusion
of the University, while
remaining independent of academic
purview," Yarbro said. He added,
" many faculty ( members) at the state
university see the Cancer Research
Center not only as a valuable research
space into which they may expand, but
also asa means to gain access to" Ellis
Fischel.
Yarbro could not be reached Friday
night for comment on his letter.
Ellis Fischel administrator Robert E.
Lee, when contacted Friday night, said
Yarbro's resignation was " news to roe.
I bad heard a rumor two days ago that
he would resign."
Joe Greathouse, medical center
director, was equally surprised. " This
is the first I have heard of it," be said.
" In fact, I was talking to him ( Yarbro)
the other day, and he never mentioned
it"
Neither Dr. Ben Papermaster nor Dr.
Ned Rodes, coadministrators of
Cancer Research Center, could be
reached for comment

Curators postpone action on investments
BySosiTrautnuma
aadGrace Schneider
BfisMurian staff writers
The University Board of Curators
Friday postponed action on divesting
toe University's $ 19.9 million holdings
in corporations operating in South
Africa but agreed to investigate its
investment policies, despite efforts by
Curator C. R. Johnston to close the door
on the issue.
The curators did, however, give the
University's investment staff a
unanimous vote ofconfidence.
Missouri Students Association
representatives presented a report at
an earlier Finance Committee session
outlining alternative investments
primarily high- yiel- d bonds and
government insured mortgage
programs that would benefit
economically depressed urban areas in
Missouri. The report discouraged
further investment in common stock,
noting mat other institutions are em-phasizing
investment in bonds and real
estate.
" We are not asking this board to
divest those stocks today," MSA Vice
President Austin Ruse told the com-mittee.
" We believe a long and prudent
study is most important "
MSA asked the curators to appoint a
committee with students, faculty and
administrator representatives to study
investment alternatives, but the
committee decided a special committee
was unnecessary.
In response to MSA's presentation,
the finance committee simply agreed to
discuss its investment policies with a
representative of the University's in-vestment
counsel at its October
meeting. In fact, Vice President for
Administrative Affairs James
Buchholz suggested earlier in-vestigation
of the University's in-vestment
policies is a continual
process.
Proponents of divestiture considered
the committee's action a partial vic-tory.
Ruse said MSA will ask the board
to approve further student input in its
investigation of investment policies.
" I assume at the next finance com--
mittee meeting there will be further
discussion of the issue from the ad-ministration
in terms of our holdings
and investments," said Marian
Oldham, the only black curator. " We
can keep the issue alive."
" We're not happy with the speed
they're going, but they're moving in the
right direction," said Stuart Hackel,
president of the Student Coalition

Filter plant was a good neighbor
ByTomNaber
MiMouriaB staff writer
While the closing of the American Air
Filter Plant in Sbelbyville, Ky., is
disappointing to workers there, plant
union leader Lemuel Wright said
Friday he has no bitterness. The plant
is moving to Columbia.
" It will hurt to lose a million- doll- ar
payroll and some of the workers wOl
lose 15- ye- ar seniority, bat we don't
really have any hard feelings," Wright
said.
Workers of the air filter plant in
Sbelbyville will meet Tuesday to
discuss workers' compensation and
severence pay. Until then, they are not
sure why meplant is moving.
The company has told the workers
mat when the plant closes, workers will
get preferential treatment in hiring at
the nearby Lotasvule plant, if they
apply within six months of the plant's
dosing, Wright said.
The American Air Filter Co. Inc.
plans to build a plant in Columbia that
will open next year. The plant, which
will, encompass 55,000 square feet
( 17,088 square meters), win employ
about 70 people and is planned for the
intersection of Vandiver Drive and
Nelwood Drive. The company had sales
in excess of 20 million last year. It
produces air filters for industrial,
commercial and institutional uses.
Marshall Long, mayor of Sbelbyville,
said the air fitter company has been
good for the area, and " will be a good
industry for Columbia." He said that
the company is dean and does not
pollute the area.
For the most part, the Sbelbyville
plant employs non- skille- d workers.
Long said the company is leaving
because it says it is " hampered by a
somewhat prohibitive workers com-pensation
law in Kentucky." He also
said the company is located in three
different buildings, which makes the
Sbelbyville facilities inefficient Long
leases one of the buildings to the
company.
Wright said be thinks the company is
moving to a location " closer to their
western markets." He added that the
cheaper cost of freight and tran-sportation
in Columbia may be a reason
